Returnal OST - Hyperion (Full Mix)

[@Scarecr0wn]

The climb to the tower and realizing how the music is being made.. one of the best gaming experiences I ever had.

[@DGneoseeker1]

And if you didn't know already, the same thing happens in Zelda 64.

[@Malphas87]

​@@DGneoseeker1 Yeah its a brilliant buildup!

[@gtaashwagandhaman7551]

​@@DGneoseeker1 You helped me remember that! Thanks✌️

[@obibenbinomi1909]

Thank you so much for recording this! This one of THE BEST boss fights in video games. Not necessarily the fight itself, but the complete package of soundtrack, atmosphere and fight. I had so much fun taking him down.

[@dasutin]

It struck me in much the same way as Soul of Cinder in Dark Souls 3 did. When you hit the second phase and Gwyn's theme comes in and the boss' moves change to reflect that, so powerful.

[@lootlord8995]

@@dasutin especially with the broader context of don’t fear the reaper being the songs base, the same one playing when Selene and Helios crash.

[@arada6655]

This boss and its music are some of the best parts of Returnal. As an added layer of lore/interpretation to Returnal's, in greek mythology, Hyperion marries Theia and two of their children are called Selene and Helios.

[@ACRBARF2]

One of my personal favourite moments in gaming is going up the tower and having the music getting louder and louder, to find the music coming from a giant organ and the boss playing it. Perfect.

[@Paddyz9]

*Spoiler* For those that didn't pick up on it, Hypherion is playing parts of the melody of Blue Oyster Cult's "Don't Fear the Repear," Which is the song that is playing in the car ride moments before she crashes and loses her daughter. This game is so well made.

[@zueszues9715]

She dont lose her child She cant walk after that, lose her job and down to the sad life Her child became spaceman just like her mother After selene mother die , selene mother reborn on alien planet Her child take on mission And land on the same planet Mother and selene has same face 20year ago selene mother failed test for spaceman project mission on alien planet Selene mother test again with her daughter name *fake name And pass the test. selene mother is the first human who infected by technology alien when her ship crash on alien planet *becuz of lighting bolt hit the space ship Selene ship crash by her mother shot selene ship her mother became something very new in the whole galexy human-alien-hybridg-immortal *in this planet has 3 type of life -Alien face shape triangle

[@MistaFiOth]

@@zueszues9715 it's all allegory, a depiction of psychological terms. Atropos does not exist, it's all Selene coming to grips with loss on a subconscious level.

[@dustinjones7458]

@@MistaFiOth I call BS. And for that, prepare for another wall of text! "It's all a dream!" is the absolute laziest interpretation you can have of a work of fiction. You can give up understanding a thing, but that means you don't get to be 'right' either. I'd rather we get a crazy wall with strings connecting pictures like from Zues Zues than a copout answer lol For my theory, I'm not so sure about the hybrid alien mom/daughter thing. That goes beyond my basic ken. My theory is that the planet is essentially a 'paradise' in that it generates a reality for its inhabitants they find most comfortable-you might be surprised, but this means a lot of things to different people-when you enter Atropos it makes a 'save file' that continually resets you back to a singular point in time, only fixing you until you find some sort of peace or transcendence. Some reality you can accept. For some versions of Selene, this is simply the peace of death-which is why you find the corpses. Others, however... You see, Atropos is a crazy machine. It allows for interstellar and time travel and the construction of things directly generated by your psyche-essentially granting your deepest wishes...if you can survive the challenges created to stop you. All of these challenges, however, are created by...you. Selene was really seeing and doing everything we saw-it was the program of Atropos working through her mind to find what she really wanted. Most of the bosses are actually different versions of Selene herself who reached various points of 'transcendence'. But, since Selene keeps coming back, it is clear that they didn't finish the process-or maybe the process can't be finished at all-they're stuck, much like her, on Atropos. Forever. Their wish was simply to forget, or wallow in regret, or to simply die. And their wishes were granted. This was what caused the aliens (yes, they existed) to go extinct-they created a machine to furnish spiritual transcendence, and found they were not strong enough-caught in an unending time loop of their own regrets. Just like Selene-their psyche produced monsters they wanted to fight, rather than granting them the peace they thought they wanted. Eventually they forgot what they were fighting for, and fighting became their only purpose. Atropos is a pitcher plant, and everyone that lands in it is a bug. Selene is on the same path throughout the game. Only the golden ending do you, perhaps, break the loop.

The woman driving is not selene though I think it is Selene's mother

[@x-force3372]

Just took him down first fight, let's go! This game is amazing 🔥

[@masteroftheblaster9523]

I found him to be the hardest than from the ones before

[@MangoReader]

@@masteroftheblaster9523 Really? I found Nemesis more challenging tbh

[@jerryfallone7136]

Personally I think it's the best Boss Fight in the entire game, accompanied by a soundtrack that matches it perfectly (the best of all the others). Carrying out this battle and at the same time listening to this music has been a pure pleasure. ❤

[@roonkolos]

For some reason this fight was the one that gave me the absolute hardest time It took me forever but my God the music was driving me mad but was so worth hearing every single time

[@zenek99999]

Thank you! That fight was AMAZING, loved every second of it. Audiovisual masterpiece. Housemarque we love you!

[@SpartanZero]

I love you for this Nemesis is the hardest, but Hyperion and the entirety of Biome 4 is a masterpiece of video game design

[@hamadahmed5415]

This boss reminds of Davy Jones

[@azon2021]

theres a bonus audio log after this fight where she says it coulda used alittle more cowbell

[@slavayanousky5022]

[@fiskbingo]

This might be the only boss I've been happy to wipe on just to hear the music again

[@egg64]

[@anthonym7168]

Great video, I loved this fight, that music worked so well for it

[@roswell5955]

Massive thx for uploading, can't believe the boss music isn't on the official soundtrack. Also love how the organ stops playing in phase 3 when he steps away from the keys...

[@maxducks2001]

That moment when you realize “Wait a second…is that Blue Oyster Cult?”

[@andreigreu]

I just finished the game and this is my fav score. Thank you so much for all the the versions you uploaded!

[@AG30]

I noticed the music from the start of the act and was wondering why is was so nice compared to the previous areas. And moment the song got louder and louder climbing up you just realized you were experiencing something amazing.

[@CorporalTaco]

This is one of my best gaming memories.

[@juanfernandorojas3194]

@@bigmiki2620 The game is challenging, there are some Biomes that are easier than others, like I think Biome 4 was a joke, Biome 3 and 6 were the toughest in my opinion. The thing is the difficulty varies according to how prepared you arrive to fight a boss, it´s recommended to do full Biome playthroughs before facing any boss (increase health bar, get a good weapon, upgrade your suit etc) Dying is natural in this game and you have accept it, I didn´t find it frustrating because gameplay is a blast and once you learn the mechanics of the game, you´ll enjoy it much more!! It´s about having lots of reflexes in combat and being patient. I give it a 7/10 difficulty, but don´t be discouraged, these type of games give an unique feeling of achievement once you start progressing. It´s freaking amazing!!
